Although Ning Xiyue was drinking and eating peanuts, she kept an eye on the movement at the door. Seeing the captain coming, she was relieved and shouted with a smile on her face: "Captain, the wine has been poured for you, waiting for you to drink."
"Here it comes. I smelled your food in the kitchen. It made me so hungry."
Zhang Dawei's eyes widened when he saw the wine on the table. He quickly sat down, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. After satisfying his craving for wine, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a peanut to eat.
Aunt Yang Liu watched him sit down like that, without even bringing anything over, and snatched the wine barrel from the table before him. She glared at him and said, "Why did you sit down like that? Where are your ears? How's the pot?"
"It's almost done. I've sealed the stove, so you don't have to watch over the fire. Pour me a glass. I'm getting cravings just from the smell. I'll go back and make it after I finish this glass of wine."
Zhang Dawei didn't get the wine barrel, so he had to pick up his wine glass and hand it to Aunt Yang Liu. He smiled ingratiatingly and looked at the wine barrel in her hand eagerly, waiting for her to pour the wine.
"Auntie, please pour another cup for Uncle Dawei." Ning Xiyue also spoke kindly to him, and then placed the captain's bowl of wine lees fried eggs in front of him: "Uncle, why don't you try this wine lees fried eggs first, it's good for your health."
"Okay, thank you, Yuewazi."
Zhang Dawei nodded and picked up the fried egg with fermented rice wine on the table and started eating, but his eyes would occasionally fall on the wine glass in front of Aunt Yang Liu.
"Okay, I'll pour you some. Drink slowly and savor it carefully. Don't drink like an old ox, taking a big gulp at once. That would be a waste of the good wine Xiyue brought."
Aunt Yang Liu felt very distressed and poured him wine carefully, fearing that even a drop would spill. This wine was made from the best glutinous rice, and it would be a pity to waste even a drop.
"Okay, I'll drink it slowly, savor it carefully, and make sure not to waste it. Fill it up."
Zhang Dawei finished the food in the bowl in a few bites, put the bowl down, picked up the glass of wine with satisfaction, and took a sip.
Aunt Yang Liu watched him finish another glass of wine, and said calmly, "Since you drank Xiyue's wine, you have to do Xiyue a small favor."
"Xiyue, don't worry. I will ask your uncle Dawei to agree to this matter for you." Aunt Yang Liu looked at Ning Xiyue and smiled gently again.
Ning Xiyue was surprised for a second. She really didn't expect her aunt to be so direct.
“Ahem…”
Zhang Dawei had a mouthful of wine stuck in his throat and was choked by the sudden sound.
"You're such a grown-up, but you still choke when drinking." Aunt Yang Liu helped the captain stroke his back with a look of disgust.
Ning Xiyue handed over a glass of water.
"Yuewazi, if you have any problems, tell Uncle Dawei. I will definitely help you if I can." Zhang Dawei recovered his breath, sat down and looked at Ning Xiyue seriously.
He knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Fortunately, this kid always knew his limits. The fact that his wife agreed to it in advance meant that it was not a big deal, so he had nothing to worry about.
This sentence was said when he was drinking, which surprised him a little. It was the first time he choked while drinking, so he was quite successful.
When Aunt Yang Liu heard this, she knew it was settled. She gave Ning Xiyue a look and got up to go to the kitchen to check the fire and the pig ears in the pot.
Ning Xiyue told the captain everything about her second brother. The captain listened carefully and said after a moment's silence, "Show me the acceptance certificate you wrote."
Ning Xiyue had already put her hand in her bag holding the acceptance certificate. When she heard the captain's words, she immediately took out the papers from the bag and handed them to the captain with both hands. At the same time, she also took the letterhead paper and pen in her hands for later use.
"Don't worry, we've already got the approval of the town's Youth League Office. All you need to do is hand in your acceptance certificate."
After reading it, the captain said nothing else and stretched out his hand in front of Ning Xiyue: "Give me the pen and notebook, don't delay me from drinking."
"Hey." Ning Xiyue agreed hurriedly. She put the pen in the captain's hand with one hand and placed the opened letter book in front of the captain with the other hand. She smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Captain."
"You're welcome. This is just normal procedure. It's what I should do."
Zhang Dawei took a pen and copied it, making appropriate changes to the inappropriate parts. After writing, he signed his name and put it in his bag.
He picked up a peanut with his chopsticks, looked at Ning Xiyue and said, "After lunch, follow me to the team to get the stamp."
"Okay." Ning Xiyue took the wine barrel and filled the captain's glass with wine: "Uncle Dawei, drink."
"The pig ears are here." Aunt Yang Liu came over with a plate of cured pig ears. "Pig ears are a perfect match for wine. Xiyue, you have to try them."
"Okay, Auntie, please sit down too. Let's have a good drink."
Ning Xiyue filled everyone's glasses and raised them proudly. Now half of the work was done, and the other half was also a foregone conclusion. She was in an extremely good mood.
Aunt Yang Liu couldn't wait to sit down, picked up her glass and clinked it with everyone: "Come on, drink."
Although Ning Xiyue is a generation younger than the other two, the three of them sitting together drinking were extremely harmonious, and the lively atmosphere did not seem out of place at all.
Although Aunt Yang Liu and the captain loved wine, they didn't drink much during the meal. They both loved the wine very much, so they only drank a few glasses at the beginning to satisfy their cravings, and then sipped it bit by bit later.
The wine glass, which was about two centimeters in diameter, could only hold one mouthful at most, but they drank for a long time. In the end, the two kilograms of wine that Ning Xiyue brought were not finished. It was estimated that after two hours, the three of them drank a total of one kilogram and two ounces of wine, with an average of four ounces per person.
